This research aimed to identify the Social Representations (RS) of the dominant and dominated social agents, from the perspective of a Bourdieusian game, in the tourist area of Aquidauana, a municipality located in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul [Brazil], through the Collective Subject Discourse Methodology [DSC]. The Social Representations of both social agents are presented throughout the results and discussions, in which it was detected that they are betting on the development of Aquidauana tourism, however, they indicate the need for feasibility, dissemination and public policies projects that interact with the society; it was also identified in the SR of social agents, that the paving of BR419 will not bring many contributions to tourism, but will stimulate other economic sectors, and that the Municipal Tourism Council [COMTUR] is a space of contradictions and conflicts. It is concluded that the game of interests prevails in Aquidauana and that the public institution does not meet society's desires and daydreams.
